The air inside the abandoned facility was suffocating.
Professor Luwanto's words still echoed in Mri's mind.
> "The Blood Root Syndicate's leader… he's already transformed."
Mri's hands curled into fists. "Where is he?"
Luwanto took a shaky breath. "In the deepest part of this facility. But listen to me, Mri—he's unlike anything you've fought before."
Tanuja frowned. "How bad are we talking?"
Luwanto's face paled. "He's no longer human."
Jasmine stepped forward. "Then we put him down. Simple."
But Luwanto's haunted eyes told them it wouldn't be that easy.
> "He's waiting for you. He knew you'd come."
Mri turned to the others. "Then we don't keep him waiting."
With weapons drawn and hearts pounding, they stepped into the darkness ahead.
The final fight was near.
The Chamber of Monsters
The hallway was lined with glass tanks.
Inside each one—failed experiments.
> Twisted creatures. Half-human, half-beast. Some still moving. Some screaming in silence.
> "What the hell did they do here?" Jasmine whispered.
Luwanto's voice was low. "They weren't just creating monsters… they were trying to perfect them."
Ayang's eyes darkened. "And their leader is the final version."
Then—a voice echoed from the chamber ahead.
> "Ah… finally, you've arrived."
Mri's breath hitched.
The door at the end of the hall slowly opened.
And standing inside…
Was a monster.
